WHY WE DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION

These interests encompass managing our website, overseeing your account, entering into contracts with you, communicating with you, processing orders for goods or services, delivering our products and services, identifying trends, safeguarding our company's security, and promoting additional goods and services to you. Our basis for disclosing your data is both your consent to this Privacy Policy and our legitimate right to safeguard and further our business interests.

We are not bound by the Privacy Policies of any third-party website you access through a hyperlink, nor are they bound by ours. We encourage you to read the policies of those third-party websites before interacting with them or making purchases. They may collect different information using different methods than we do.
